SICK left to die in NEW ZEALAND. Given painkillers and told to sod off.

The daughter of a man with Covid-19 who died while isolating at home believes her father was failed by the health system she works for.

The 68-year-old father of seven, who was an imam at an Auckland Masjid, died at his Glen Eden home on Wednesday.

Although coughing blood and too weak to move, the family said they waited to receive medical advice to take him to hospital, but that advice never came.

Following multiple calls to Healthline, the family said they were reassured he would receive the same advice from a hospital that Healthline was giving.

...

the family said they were sent throat lozenges and paracetamol [mild painkiller] give to the ailing man.

...

The mother-in-law, who doesn’t speak English, was initially treated in hospital but was then sent to Novotel MIQ too weak to wash herself and without a support person, the man’s daughter said.

The grandmother stopped eating, was unable to communicate her symptoms to staff and her condition quickly deteriorated, the woman said.

After lobbying by the family, a support person was allowed in to help her, but by that stage, the grandmother was lying unresponsive on her bed.
